Pizzardis will draw from Fecarotta\u2019s Argentinian background while offering a large menu that includes American dishes.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are opening this restaurant to share a little bit of Argentinian street food with people in Pinellas County,\u201d Fecarotta said in a conversation with St. Pete Rising. \u201cBut I don\u2019t want to be put in an Argentinian food box, because the menu is much more extensive than that.\u201d<\/p>\n
The menu will include half-pound burgers, chicken wings, homemade meatballs and meatball sandwiches, salads, and two styles of pizza. One is a hybrid Neapolitan-style pizza cooked in an Italian electric oven, with housemade sauce, fresh toppings, and the charred \u201cleopard spots\u201d common with high-heat pizza.<\/p>\n
Pizzardis will also serve three Argentinian-style pizzas, which are pan-cooked with thicker, doughier crusts and a light amount of sauce. The restaurant will use imported Argentinian cheese on those specialty pizzas.<\/p>\n
One option is fugazzeta, a sauce-free pizza topped with caramelized onions and a generous amount of cheese. Another, jam\u00f3n y morrones, comes with ham, roasted peppers, and green olives.<\/p>\n
The Argentinian portion of the menu will include baked empanadas with beef, chicken, or ham-and-cheese fillings; chorip\u00e1n, a beef-and-pork chorizo sausage sandwich served with housemade chimichurri; and milanesa, a thin breaded and fried beef or chicken cutlet. Diners can order milanesa with sides or as a sandwich.<\/p>\n
Pizzardis will also cook its wings to order rather than pre-cooking them, so they may take a little longer to reach the table. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pizzardis will draw from Fecarotta\u2019s Argentinian background while offering a large menu that includes American dishes. \u201cWe are…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":403753,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[202,204,203,199,201,200],"class_list":["post-403752","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-st-petersburg","tag-st-pete","tag-st-pete-headlines","tag-st-pete-news","tag-st-petersburg","tag-st-petersburg-headlines","tag-st-petersburg-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/403752","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=403752"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/403752\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/403753"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=403752"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=403752"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=403752"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
